Governments don't care about the crime banks encourage and enable, as long as it's large enough. The US has failed to enforce incredible amounts of money laundering through traditional currencies. Whether that failure is the result of incompetence or something more sinister is the question.
Outside of a cultural movement toward more anarchist, distributed power systems, I can't see anything good coming from the state dipping its heels into more data streams like this. It's largely obvious that the US government, for the foreseeable future, is largely dissonant from what's actually good for its public. Drugs are a fairly powerful anecdote illustrating that end: opiate producers (like most capitalist businesses) aren't punished for causing a nation-wide epidemic, while users of proportionally less harmful drugs like LSD, MDMA, or Marijuana are punished quite harshly.
